To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID hnicicssoiix, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Toothache Remedy. of which the following is a full. clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved toothache remedy to be used for the relief of pain occasioned by toothache, and as a temporary filling for the affected tooth. 1

The. composition consists of the following.

ingredients in about'the proportions stated:

Prepared chalk; 5 parts. Pet-rolatum it: parts. Cresylic acid 1 part.

- cresylic acid is the toothache remedy and ening of temporary has the desired healing and antiseptic properties. I

In practice a small piece of blotting paper is placed over the cavity of the tooth after the same is filled with the paste. and the blotting paper is allowed to remain for abouta minuteso that it absorbs all surplus fluid, to insure a ready and quick hardthe paste, which thus forms a filling of the tooth.

It is understood that the composition ordinarily remains in paste form and when filled into a tooth cavity' and subjected to the action of the blotting paper, as above described, a .sufiicient amount of the two liquid ingredients of the composition, to Wit, the cresylic acid and the petrolatum or glycerin, is taken up by the blotting paper and hencewithdrawn from the composition to permit the latter to harden sutticiently to form a temporary filling. By the extraction of a portion of the liquid ingredients the paste form of the composition is changed into a putty-like substance.

inally in the formot a paste and to "as a toothache remedy and temporary fillglycerin keeping of June A. D.

By the use of the paste in an affected tooth, quick relief of pain is bad, and at the same time the paste on hardening forms a temporary filling thus protecting the nerve and pulp of the tooth against air, solid food and hot and cold liquids. I

The composition of matter owing to its small percentage of eresylic acid is harmless and non-poisonous, and on account of. being in the form of a paste can be readily placed in position in the cavity or on any other portion of a tooth without danger of spread ing all over the mouth and burning the tissues.

I Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. The herein described composition normally in the form of a paste and to be used as a toothache remedy and temporary tilling, consisting of an aggregate, a liquid toothache remedy and a liquid vehicle, the said liquid toothache remedy and the said liquid vehicle being of a character to keep the composition normally in paste form for filling it into a tooth cavity, the cpmppsition being of a co'nsistencyto permit withdrawal therefrom of a portion of the liquid,

and of a character to thereafter harden sufficiently for forming a temporary filling.

2. The herein described composition, norbe used ing, consisting of prepared chalk forming the aggregate, cresylic acid forming the. toothache remedy, and glycerin forming the vehicle, the said cresylic acid and the said the composition in paste form for filling it into a tooth cavity, the composition when so applied and subjected to the action of a contacting blotting paper being of a consistency portion of its moisture, and of a character to harden sutiiciently to form a temporary filling for the tooth.
